[ It's not as though Caelus likes seeing Aventurine wince in pain, but he sort of can't help but laugh at the predicament that the former IPC member finds himself in. Smiling apologetically, though it's not like Caelus gave him the injuries personally (well, maybe he contributed?), the Traliblazer leans down and kisses Aventurine briefly on the cheek.
Wait. They haven't done that before? But — well, it just felt so natural in the moment. Caelus will think about it later. ]
Silly goose. Don't move, okay? Just stay here. I'll get you something.
[ It's a shame. He's so nice and comfortable, in bed with the most beautiful man he thinks he's ever seen, but he has to get up now, because the most beautiful man in the universe should get something to eat. Calmly, Caelus extricates himself from the bed, leaving his tantalizing warmth behind. He pulls on his jacket and his shoes, then shuffles over toward the door.
Aventurine won't be able to see the man outside, but apparently someone's been standing there.
Caelus blinks. "Dan Heng? You're here?"
It's funny; Aventurine may have actually never seen Dan Heng before, though he's probably at least been briefed on the young man as one of the members of the Express. He still won't be able to see Dan Heng from his vantage point on the bed, though he'll be able to hear the archivist's voice. "Himeko told me to stand guard while you two recovered. I see you're already up and out of bed."
"Yeah, but he's not." Caelus pauses awkwardly, then continues: "Um, we're both kinda hungry, and he can't get up. I was gonna get something to eat..."
"Stay here." The young man's tone leaves no room for argument. "I'll make you a meal."
"I can make it myself —"
"I'm sure you can. Whether or not it would be nutritionally balanced is another story. Stay here."
The door closes.
Feeling faintly embarrassed, like he's been upstaged by an older brother in front of the guy he likes, Caelus shuffles back to the bed where Aventurine's resting and coughs to clear his throat. ]
Er... well, you heard him. He's getting us food... I guess.
[ He looks embarrassed, too. Well, having a family to rely on is not a bad thing... ]
